Top 25 Article Directories and Free Content Sites Ranked by Alexa and PageRank

Dr. Ralph F. Wilson, Editor-in-Chief Web Marketing Today Rocklin, CA - May 8, 2007
If you're trying to publish a regular e-mail newsletter for your customers, good news! There's a wealth of content out there that you can use for free -- poor, average, good, and occasionally excellent. Why is this content offered free of charge? Two reasons:

1. Article directories can earn revenue from Google ads placed on their site as part of the Google AdSense program (www.google.com/adsense). This has stimulated the growth of thousands of look-alike article sites that receive very little traffic. Others are niche sites that carry articles in particular vertical categories.
2. Websites can be promoted effectively through articles. A link to the author's website contained in each free article serves to: (a) bring targeted traffic through a well-designed, intriguing "signature" or author bio at the bottom of the article and (b) raise Google PageRank by creating more incoming links to a website. These links point to the author's website from the article's presence both on the article sites and on the websites that use the free articles.

If you're a marketer, I can hear your brain beginning to compute wildly:

1000 article sites X 1 link to my site X 15 articles submitted = 15,000 links to my site

Moreover, article submission tools make article spamming extremely easy. Hold on, it's not that simple. Submitting your article to hundreds or thousands of article sites can actually hurt you, since Google spiders are finely tuned to spot spam in its many flavors. You're much better off to submit your article to five of your favorite article sites and a couple of niche sites, and resist the temptation to blast your article to every pathetic article site on the planet.
How to Promote Your Site through Article Marketing, by Ralph F. Wilson
For more information on article marketing, see my book How to Promote Your Site through
Article Marketing.

To help you see which sites you might consider submitting to, I've listed below the top 25 article directory sites by their Google PageRank (10 being high) and Alexa traffic rank (1 being high). A disclaimer: The Alexa rankings are flawed and seem volatile, but give a relative measure of traffic to a site. Google PageRank (PR) is notoriously inaccurate, but can be seen as an indicator of Google's relative trust in a site -- sort of. The list is not exhaustive and includes both general article directories and some popular niche directories with an Alexa rank of under 50,000. Sites are listed in ascending Alexa rank order, with the PR 6+ sites boldfaced for your convenience.

Top 21: The Best Top 21: The Best Article Directory List

by Jack Humphrey on May 23

Article directories are a dime a dozen. If you are going to do it the hard way, meaning you’d rather submit one at a time and not use the best article syndication service I have ever used, then focus on submitting your articles to the top 21 article directories below.

You won’t benefit from the long tail effect of submitting to the other article directories available, but you will at least hit the big ones with the highest Alexa and Google rankings.

1. EzineArticles

Need more article directory information?

Here’s a big list of article directories.

Also check out my post on getting the most out of article syndication.

Top 4 Article Directories to Submit Your Content To

Back in 2007 I wrote a post about article submission being a poor SEO tactic. Since then the article has had about 5,000 visitors that mainly came from Google and it’s still getting good traffic now. Because it has been so popular I just gave it a bit of an update and added information about how to submit to article directories and which ones to use.

Over the years I have been screwed over in various ways by a few directories such as Article Alley, Articles Base and Isnare, the 1st two added nofollow to my author signature links and Isnare took a payment from me for a featured submission and then never published it or got back to me when I emailed.

Anyway, fortunately there are a handful of decent general article directories that you can rely on, here are my top 4:

Ezine Articles Logo1/ Ezine Articles is the best article directory on the web, it has good standards, a PageRank 6/10 and currently, according to Alexa it’s the 185th most popular site on the web. The site is very easy to use, just click onto submit articles and follow instructions to get started.

Buzzle Logo2/ My 2nd favourite article directory is Buzzle, I have been an author there for over a year now, my articles are usually published within 24 hours and indexed by Google in no time. The site has a PageRank score of 5/10 and it’s Alexa rank is in the top 2,000. You have to apply to get accepted as an author at Buzzle and it can take a few weeks, but IMO it’s worth the wait.

Go Articles Logo 3/ Another great article site is Go Articles, it’s ran by the Jayde Online Network, it has a Google PageRank of 6/10 and its Alexa score is inside the top 3,500. Submitting is a piece of cake, click on submit articles and then fill in the register as a new member form to get started. Articles are published fast, usually in less then a week.

Article Dashboard Logo4/ Article Dashboard is a mother of an article directory with, according to siteexplorer nearly 4,000,000 links that have come from other article directories using their script. The site has a Google PageRank score of 4/10 and its Alexa traffic rank is about 5,000. Click on the sign up link in the top right hand corner, follow instructions and start submitting your content.

Make sure you read our article submission blog post before you start using these sites, if done correctly and in moderation article submission can be a good small part of your link building and SEO strategy.

FYI: I think the UK needs a really good article directory so I have just registered OriginalArticles.co.uk and I plan to launch that in the next month or so.

Top Tips for getting the best results from your AdSense Ads

By Michael Andrew

The revenue that you earn from Google AdSense program is totally dependent on you and your abilities. Here are some tips that you can use to get the best results from your AdSense Ads:


Use channels: Channels help you in conducting a better analysis of the performance of your AdSense Ads. You can use custom channels to check what web pages are making more revenue and which ones are not doing so well. In fact, custom channels can be used for conducting analysis on multiple aspects at the same time. You can use this analysis for making amendments to your AdSense Ads or website content in order to get better results.

Ad customization and positioning: Shape, Size and color are the three properties of your AdSense Ads that you can easily control and customize in a way that the Ads don’t look out of place when served on your website. You can either make your Ads stand-out from the rest of the content on your webpage or you can make them blend with the overall webpage. Moreover, you can identify the hot spots on your website and position your Ads accordingly. Ad customization and Ad positioning are, in fact, the best ways to attract more clicks to your AdSense Ads.

Content quality: ‘The best generally overcomes the rest’ – is a very true saying. If you host quality content on your website and provide regular updates to your visitors, you can expect more traffic to your website. This will in turn lead to more ad impressions and possibly more clicks.

Use AdSense Ads on all pages: If you have multiple web pages on your website, you should include AdSense Ads on all of them. Since the visitors can enter your website through a number of different pages, having AdSense Ads on all the pages will surely increase your earnings.

Use multiple ad units: Google allows you to use up to 3 ad units and one link unit per web page. Since your revenue earnings are dependent on ad clicks and ad impressions, a higher number of ad units can potentially increase your AdSense earnings. However, do not go with the maximum allowed ad units if you don’t have enough content on your web page; this might offend the website visitors.

Use wider Ad format: Though Ad formats yield different results for different websites, the wider Ad formats (like rectangles) are generally known to be more effective than their narrower counterparts (there is a scientific explanation for this, but we can leave that out since we are more concerned with the results).

Limit the filters: Filters are useful for blocking the Ads that you don’t want displayed on your website e.g. Ads of competitors. However, too many filters can seriously limit your revenue earning potential from AdSense Ads. So, limit the use of filters to minimum.

14 Websites that Pay People to Write

How to Make Money and Build Residual Income Writing on the Web

Read more: http://home-based-businesses.suite101.com/article.cfm/14_websites_that_pay_people_to_write#ixzz0MP39WST2
Writers and bloggers may be pleased to know they can make money writing content on the web. This article reviews 14 of these sites and their merits.

Given today's environment of layoffs and millions of jobs lost, employment is becoming scarce. However, there's a new way to make money and it's becoming more popular every day.

The concept is simple: a content website shares collective revenue from advertising it places throughout its site with its members. Each individual page of a members' content also generates revenue through advertising and/or page views. In short, it's called revenue sharing.

Generally speaking, to make money on any given revenue sharing website takes a lot of time, patience, and knowledge of search engine optimization (SEO). The idea is to keep writing content in order to make money through residual income.

eHow
eHow is a fun paid content website based on writing step-by-step "how-to" instructions. The people who succeed on eHow write lots of practical, hands-on articles for everyday tasks. eHow also has a built-in social networking feature where you can make both friends and money at the same time.

Helium
Helium is the only site on the web that pairs freelance writers with real-world publishers looking to pay between $20-$200 for quality content. Helium also features numerous titles to write to.

Bukisa
Like eHow and Helium, Bukisa offers members the opportunity to make money on each article submitted on the site. Additionally, Bukisa offers even more money by signing others up on the site.

Associated Content
Associated Content focuses on original, unique, quality content with a bent toward up-to-the-minute news stories. While any content can be submitted, editors can be selective and will not always post a writer's article. Members make $1.50 per thousand page views and can also make additional money through upfront payments.

Suite101
Suite101 is a decidedly professional paid content website. In order to apply as a contributor to the site, the writer must send Suite101 a resume summary and two writing samples. If the freelance writer is accepted, he or she will work closely with editors and will learn everything there is to know about SEO.

About.com
About.com Guides write authoritative articles in their areas of expertise. To become an About.com guide, the person must apply online. The website guarantees a minimum of $725 per month for all new About.com guides, plus revenue sharing based on the number of page views generated by the writer's content pages.

Xomba
A rather zany paid content website with a decidedly fun, casual style.

HubPages
HubPages members make money by creating topical web pages called "Hubs." The site pays each member a share of revenue generated from ad impressions.

PayPerPost
Simply put, PayPerPost pays members to blog.

Triond
A unique paid content website that posts members' articles to Triond affiliate websites.

Squidoo
A really fun, some say addicting, way to make money writing topical web pages called "lenses."

Flixya
While Flixya is really a paid video sharing website, members can also make money blogging.

ZestBit
ZestBit members make money by writing blog-style content on individual web pages called "twists."

HowHub
Likely competitor to eHow, HowHub focuses on paying members to write "how-to" content.

Making a significant amount of money on these websites takes time, patience, and persistence. But over time, collective revenue generated from each article builds enough to produce a residual stream of income.

Top 4 Websites that Pay People to Write

Get Paid for Writing on Four Professional Revenue-Sharing Sites

Read more: http://home-based-businesses.suite101.com/article.cfm/top_4_websites_that_pay_people_to_write#ixzz0MP1jBOYG

These top four paid content revenue-sharing websites have been hand-picked for professionalism and higher monetization.

In this difficult economy where layoffs and unemployment are the rule rather than the exception, is it possible to make money by writing short articles on the web? The answer is yes, and here’s how.

A growing number of paid content revenue-sharing websites make it easy for people to make money simply by writing articles of varying length. Articles can be on any topic imaginable from news to politics, technology, opinion, and everything in between.

These websites share advertising revenue with members. Over time, the writer’s articles produce a stream of residual income when people searching the web click on advertising on the writer’s article pages, view article pages, or a combination of both.

Four paid content revenue-sharing websites in particular stand out as a cut above the rest in terms of professionalism and uniqueness: Helium, Suite101, eHow, and Associated Content.

Helium: Professional Freelancing, Revenue Sharing, and Much More
Helium is the only paid content website that pairs writers with real-world publishers looking to pay anywhere between $20-$200 for well-written pieces of varying lengths. In addition to generating residual income on each article produced, writers also enjoy up-front payments and income from weekly contests.
Suite101: It’s All about the SEO
Members writing articles for Suite101 will learn a great deal about search engine optimization (SEO) by working one on one with editors who provide guidance. To be accepted as a contributor to the website, the writer must send Suite101 a resume summary and two writing samples.

eHow: Practical Everyday How-to Instructional Articles
eHow is a highly unique paid content revenue-sharing website where writers create practical “how-to” articles. The site has a built-in social networking component to it as well, where writers can share articles and discuss how to write quality content that will attract search engines and make money.

eHow members must keep in mind the original intent of the site: to write practical how-to instructions on everyday tasks such as, “how to paint a house” or “how to plant a tree.”

Associated Content: A Range of Money-Making Options
Associated Content has positioned itself as a paid content revenue-sharing website that puts a lot of effort into quality control and original content. The site’s tilt is toward well-written news pieces that are completely original, such as local and community news. However, content producers can write on a range of other topics as long as the content is original.

All submitted articles are reviewed by site editors and are removed if the article does not meet their quality standards. Content producers can make money through upfront payments as well as residual income on each of their articles. Writers can also assign rights to each article.

Associated Content is unique in the sense that the site allows people to make money by creating a range of content including slideshows, video, and audio.

Helium, Suite101, eHow, and Associated Content are all professional paid content revenue-sharing websites where writers can make money while gaining name recognition in the marketplace.

How to Make Money Writing for About.com

Website Guarantees Writers $675 Per Month Minimum
Online help information portal About.com hires freelance writers with expertise in a variety of fields and guarantees them a minimum of $675 monthly. Here's how.

They say that during any recessionary period, companies are still hiring for certain positions. Though layoffs persist, people still see movies, go out to eat, and visit healthcare specialists.

One company that continues to hire freelance writers is About.com. About.com bills itself as the web’s premiere portal for help information. Topics range from city guides to entertainment to sports, travel, dining, parenting, and national parks.

It may come as a surprise to some that About.com doesn’t staff its own writers. Rather, it hires freelance writers called Guides to add content to the site in a given area of expertise. Here’s how freelance writers who are interested in becoming an About.com Guide can get started.

What it Takes to Become an About.com Guide
To become a guide for About.com, the writer must primarily have expertise in his or her field of interest. This could be topics such as bowling, a U.S. city, technology, sports, or any other of the hundreds of topics available on About.com.

The process is very professional, often requiring clips or work samples of the applicant’s prior publications in newspapers, magazines, journals, or online. Some topics for About.com Guides require the person to be a journalist or professional writer.



Read more: http://choosing-careers.suite101.com/article.cfm/how_to_make_money_writing_for_aboutcom#ixzz0MP0qQEWu
If the person is selected by editors to become an About.com Guide, the writer must go through About.com’s one-month training program.

Compensation for Freelance Writing on About.com
About.com guarantees new Guides a minimum of $675 per month base pay for the first two years, then guarantees $500 per month thereafter. Additionally, About.com pays Guides according to page view growth with payment incentives.

With base pay plus page view incentives, About.com Guides in their first two years average $1,000 per month. Overall average Guide compensation is around $2,000 per month, with some experienced Guides earning upwards of $100,000 per year.

To be compensated, About.com Guides must write a minimum of four articles per month with gaps no greater than 14 days in between. Also, they must write into their blog one to three times per week.

How to Apply to Become an About.com Guide
Freelance writers interested in applying to become an About.com Guide should point their web browser to the About.com Be a Guide page. This page can also be displayed by clicking Be a Guide in the bottom right-hand corner of About.com’s home page.

On the left-hand side of the About.com Be a Guide page, click Apply Now. The list of available topics to apply for is displayed on the left, with the topic description on the right. Read the qualifications, intended audience, and topics to cover.

If the topic fits into the writer’s area of expertise, click Next to go through a series of informational screens until a form displays. Fill out the form and submit.

If the applicant doesn’t hear back from About.com regarding the status of his or her application, the applicant can check application status on the About.com Check the Status of Your Application(s) page.

Becoming a Guide on About.com is a part-time professional freelance writing opportunity. But if the person is an expert in his or her topic and is willing to put forth time and effort in heavy research and writing, it could easily turn into a full-time writing gig that pays well.

How to Make Money Online

By evelopez
eHow Community Member
These days, everyone wants to be a "webpreneur." Luckily, making money online doesn't take years of education or advanced degrees. Anyone who is literate and who has access to the internet can make money online. Some of these methods take a bit of trial and error, but there is really no way to fail if you keep at it and don't give up.
1. Step 1
Make money with your own website. There are three main ways to make money from a website. 1. Sell advertising (like Google AdSense). 2. Become an affiliate, sell merchandise, and take a percentage of the profit (like Amazon books or other products). 3. Sell your own product (like an ebook, or whatever your invention is). For each of these ways to earn money from your website, you will need to learn SEO, which is a whale of an issue but worth your time. Your website will go nowhere if it is not ranked highly by Google.
2. Step 2
Make money writing for the web. There are dozens of websites that will pay you upfront and/or through residual income. Most content sites earn their money by advertising. You can have instant SEO for your articles and earn money through eHow.com, Suite101.com, Bukisa.com, HubPages.com, Helium.com, Squidoo.com and others. If you plan to earn money through writing online, make sure you know the basics of Google keyword analysis. It's possible to make hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month by writing for revenue-sharing websites.
3. Step 3
Create a blog and earn your money through one of the ways outlined in Step 1. Blogging is profitable for few. The main thing you want to do before you start your blog is 1. research a niche and 2. promote the heck out of it once you do. You need to write to a specific audience and market to them in a way that doesn't seem like marketing. Listen to the pros at blogs like Problogger.com and Copyblogger.com.

How to make money online with Google

By sachphotography

eHow Community Member

I would like to help you understand how to make Money Online With Google Adsense
Step
1Google has created a program most people know about. This program is called Google Adsense. This program is strictly governed to guard against fraud. My recommendations are those that will help you make money online with Google Adsense the right way.

Step
2Google Adsense tends to reward those for hard work. Creating a website with content that causes a viewer to have a need to search for more is key goal web designers should have. Google Adsense scans your website and places ads that are relevant to the content of your site. When people click on these ads, you are paid a small amount. The payment amount is relevant to how much the client paid to have their ad displayed.

Step
3Do not be upset if it takes time to get going. A good website will grow gradually and consistently. There are many ways to promote your website. Just as with any type of business, advertising and promoting your web site will help it either grow or fail. Be patient and develop your site the right way. Do not buy traffic. This is a dumb idea. You want people going to your site that want to be at your site.

Step
4After you have signed up for a Google Adsense account you will be able to place different items onto your website. You can place simple ads or even a search bar. It is very simple to use and Google walks you thru the whole process.

Step
5In a nutshell people pay Google Adwords to show ads for their company services and or products. Google Adsense then places the ads onto websites that would pertain to the company. When you place and ad bar on your website, Google Adsense scans your site and places ads relevant to your site content. You get paid when someone click on the ad displayed. Google Adsense does have a threshold of $100 before you are paid.

Step
6It truly is as simple as that. The best opportunity for you to succeed with Google Adsense is to create a site with lots of content that is updated regularly. As stated, if you create a site that gets user to need more than what you offer, it will cause then to click the ads displayed, or search with you search bar. You literally will be making money in no time with Google Adsense.

How to Build Successful Information Marketing Businesses Online Without Getting Scammed


These are difficult economic times for almost everybody. Many people are looking to the Internet to find an easy way to build an information marketing business that will solve their problems.

Unfortunately, there are too many scams that are successful in luring people into joining opportunities that do not provide real value. However, many are unaware of any real alternatives.

But, because you're reading this article you'll be able to build a successful online business without spending thousands of dollars on little informational value.

3 Steps to Building an Information Marketing Business Online

Step# 1: Understand the World of Information Marketing

You can only be successful online when you understand what people are looking for on the Internet. People use search engines in order to look for information on a variety of topics. Ranging from a review of a specific product to details about a holiday resort, the Internet has become the source of information.

Many people are prepared to pay for this information for various reasons. Firstly there is a higher perceived value for paid material. Many potential customers will not even look at your free information, as it is perceived as being cheap and lacking. There is a large market that will only buy information that the author feels comfortable to charge for.

Here is the key: If you know what people are looking for then all you need to do is create a product and market it. Plain and simple. And, this is easier than it seems as long as you follow the next two steps.

Step 2: Learn only from real marketers

Real marketers are aware of which niches are profitable to go into and they are aware of the marketing strategies needed to succeed in those areas. You need a complete plan.

The problem is that there is so much fluff on the Internet today even in the real business world of information marketing. There are people who claim that they can make you rich if only you follow their systems.

They claim that they can teach you how to create a product and market it as well.

With experience, I can tell you that many of these "marketers" are not telling you the entire truth. Many of these systems are selling you the dream. But they lack real informational value. They merely want to take you to the next level of purchase. It often turns into a never-ending circle of buying.

Now, don't get me wrong. I am not saying that you should not buy e-Books and other products online. I'm just opening your eyes to the real truth and suggesting that you be careful before you buy. Do your homework and make sure the person or company you want to buy products from are real experts and NOT self-proclaimed experts.

Step #3 –Find out who the real marketers are

There are some great marketers out there. The problem is that in order to employ them you would be charged anywhere between $500-$2000/hour for their services. Most people starting on a small budget cannot afford such high prices.

Fortunately, a low budget alternative does exist. There are teleseminars available that offer advice from some of the best-known marketers often for free.

Teleseminars make sense for marketers as they get exposure to a wider audience. The audience wins because they receive some fantastic training from marketers who often reveal some of their best information.

If you want to succeed on line then you will need to receive an education from true marketers. Before buying any material, you will want to review what is being offered. One of the best ways of doing this is through a teleseminar.

If you follow these steps, you will build a successful information marketing business online. It's how I'm growing my business and I'm a newbie. So, I'm learning just like you. But the difference is I'm following the above three steps and I'm learning from real experts.

Don't you think it's time for a change?

The Internet Sales Cycle Explained & How You Can Make It Work for You Just by Writing Articles




Most new online business owners think that Internet marketing is their magic pill to making more money.

I have news for you...It's not magic. It's a process.

But once you WORK that process, it CAN work like magic!

Here's the Internet Sales Cycle Broken Down into 5 Simple Parts

1. Collect Leads

The absolute best way is to get leads online is to write unique, original articles that position you as the expert in your specific niche. And, it's not that hard. All you have to write is a simple 500-word "how-to" or "top tips" article that will solve your prospect's pain. Wonder what a "how-to article" is? You're reading one!

Then, you want to submit your articles to the top websites, ezines and article directories that your targeted audience is reading. This way, you will be able to drive more website traffic and build your list.

2. Get Them into Your Sales Funnel – And Build Your List

Once you've written your article, you need a way to get prospects into your "sales funnel." The best way to make this easy is to offer a special report, e-Book, e-course, checklist, audio, video or anything else your heart desires. You will not charge for the product. Your goal is to get names now, and make sales later. You will put this information at the end of your article in what we call the bio box.

In the bio box, you can promote your:

- Website
- Products
- Services
- Specific "call-to-action" that leads them to the special product you offer

For an example just read my bio box at the end of this article.

Most people make the mistake of trying to sell high-priced products and services in the bio box. Getting visitors on your list should be your number one objective! Why? Up to 99% of your first-time visitors will not buy from you. They'll take a quick look and then they'll click away. If you did not capture their names and email addresses, you will have lost them forever.

3. Follow Up

Marketing studies have always shown that your prospects need to be exposed to your message at least 7 times before they'll take any action! That's why you need to build and maintain relationships with your list.

This is where ezines, e-course and autoresponders work like a charm. They will follow up for you automatically. In fact, with the marketing and shopping cart system My Easy Online Store, you can schedule email messages up to two years away! It's like putting your marketing on autopilot, so you can just set it and forget it!

4. Close the Sale

Your ezine, e-courses, special reports and autoresponder messages should drive readers to what you have to offer. However, don't forget to provide useful content and information. That's why they gave you their names and emails and that's why they'll stay on your list.

Here are two reasons why you shouldn't make the mistake of trying to sell from the actual email:

1) You don't have the room in an email to fully explain what you're selling and demonstrate its value to the prospect
2) It can turn people off who aren't ready to buy yet. You'll instantly lose those prospects from your list.

The idea of the email is to get them excited about your offering and to get them to CLICK. Once they click, then they should be taken to a sales page that you set up specifically for that product or service you're promoting. It's THERE and ONLY THERE that the prospect will get the full scoop on how great your product, book or service is, why they need it, how much it costs and how to order.

5. Upsell, and Upsell Again

Here's the biggest mistake I made when I started to sell my first information product online, "The A to Z Article Marketing System." It was the ONLY product! I didn't even have a membership club in place. So once people bought my product, I had nothing else in my funnel to sell them. I had to work extra hard at finding new prospects all the time. It's been said for ages: "It is easier to sell an existing client a new product than to find a new client."

That's why you need to continue turning (churning has a bad connotation) out valuable new products and programs that your customers will eat up like crazy. You can simply create new products by recycling the articles you used to collect leads.

Now, you have it -- the Internet sales cycle broken down into five easy parts. Now, you should see the missing links in your own Internet sales cycle. Have patience, keep learning and don't stop writing. You'll begin fill in these gaps, and start to see the magic of article marketing work for you.

Why Are So Many People Looking For An Online Business?

The financial demands on the people in today’s society can be very stressful and people are looking for ways to either supplement their income or just plain replace it altogether. Everyone wants to relieve some of the stress that their finances constantly place on their lives.

People are turning to the internet everyday to save them from their financial woes. Maybe you don’t like working 40 or 50 hours a week. Or perhaps you don’t like your boss and coming home mad and upset every day. You may have gotten passed up for that promotion that you had coming for somebody that spent all of the time kissing the bosses you know what! I really can’t stand people like that!

So a while back I decided to start my own business from home. You might not really even know what that means. I didn’t. For those of you who don’t here is a simple description. You are going to be offering either goods or services to others that are looking for them. There are many ways to accomplish this.

People are turning to the internet for a solution. Why not? This world is filled with opportunity and it’s up to you to grab your piece of the pie!

My father worked for General Telephone for 30 plus years and retired with his savings and retirement as well as my mother retired as a nurse for 30 years and they live quite comfortably. But those were the old days. Today you put in 20 years at a company and they lay you off before retirement or many are going belly up for one reason or another.

This is why people are looking for something different. They want to make more money. They want to spend more time with their family or their children.

Not having to get up at 5 or 6 in the morning everyday and go to a job that they don’t like. From my own experience I will say its great not having to get up everyday and spend money to travel to a job that I don’t like and doesn’t pay enough and has no future for growth.

So a while back I decided to start my own business from home. You might not really even know what that means. I didn’t. For those of you who don’t here is a simple description. You are going to be offering either goods or services to others that are looking for them.

Many people have decided to go after their dreams. Thousands of people are having great success doing just that! I figured why not me? So I decided to go after my dream of financial independence. I enjoy working from home and the freedom it gives me and I don’t regret it for one second. It has been great!

So if you are looking for a great opportunity and want to be personally trained to success post a reply visit my site or just give me a call. All my contact info is supplied. Have a great day!

Free Advertising & Internet Marketing

One overlooked or misused form of advertising is free advertising. However, this can be a very important means of growing your business.

There are innumerable free classified advertising sites on the internet
One immediately visible advantage of free advertising is the adjective, “free”. Many people starting internet businesses simply do not have the funds to buy advertising.

By the same token, a disadvantage to free advertising is that since it is free, everybody floods it with all kinds of ads, and it is easy for your message to get lost in the flood of advertisements.

Another disadvantage is that unlike people who look through newspaper classifieds or advertising papers such as are found at the local convenience store, few people on the Internet actually visit online classified sites in hopes of finding a car or piece of stereo equipment. Even if they do, they are not likely to see your ad if you are trying to interest someone in an internet income opportunity.

So, how can you turn free advertising to your advantage?

First, as mentioned, some sites will have the potential for improving your business in one way or another, and some will be totally worthless. Since the advertisement itself may or may not be effective, or may or may not be effective at a certain website, testing is necessary. Different ads must be tried, and they must be tried on different sites.

A difficulty in determining the value of a given free advertising site is the fact that with the advent of automatic advertising submitters, many sites are hardly ever visited by humans any more. Only the automatic programs drop by and leave off their ads and move on to the next site. Therefore, one of the first criteria to look for might be whether or not ads must be manually posted. At least in that case, humans will visit and may actually see your ad.

By the way, even a site which can be posted to automatically may be of value in the area of linking and search engine optimization. Most of these links will be fleeting or of little value to a search engine spider, but you may be able to build a little stable of sites which will help search engines find your site. I know of several sites where I regularly post ads exactly for this purpose. (which requires manual submission) for example is regularly visited by search engine spiders, and if I place an ad there, the page I have linked to will soon show up in search engine listings.

Second, free advertising is most effective if it is not used to sell anything. In fact, it will operate best when you use the free advertising to give something of value away in order to establish a condition of trust between yourself and a prospective customer. In the heyday of mail order advertising, this was often referred to as the “two step” method.

It worked, and still works, like this. The seller offers a free report, such as “How to Make Money from Your Kitchen Table”. The ad simply makes the offer, and often would request the reader to send a “free, self-addressed, stamped envelope” for the free report. In this way, the seller was able to get his materials in the hands of several interested parties for only the cost of the report and the ad. The seller was saved the postage by the reader who provided the envelope and postage. Enclosed with the report were materials offering other items, often more reports, which were sold by the seller.

If the seller had provided a report of value on the first mailing, it was possible that the reader would purchase one of the items. If not, the name and address was still on the seller’s records (mailing list) and the reader would receive more mailings and/or a collection of such names and addresses would be sold to others who had not built their own lists as yet.

The same thing is done on the internet, and many successful advertisements offer free advertising, software, reports, or services in order to entice the online reader to respond, thus placing his or her contact information at the disposal of the advertiser.

This sort of advertising on the internet has spawned two distinct “advertising” methods which, while free, are not actually advertisements. These two methods are the writing of articles and the creation of lead capture pages.

Top Ten Secret of E-book Marketing

Electronic books, or e-books, are one of the quickest ways to make you an infopreneur, or someone who makes money by selling information. As a service business owner, it’s also a simple way to sell the information that you have spent countless hours amassing to all of those who want to buy what you know but who cannot afford to hire you as a service provider.

The most effective way to market your e-book is via a one-page website. If you already have a website, I recommend that you set up a separate stand-alone page for this e-book. Most domain registrars will permit you to forward and mask your product domain to an internal page of your current website. If you don’t have a site, you can create a one-page site with its own hosting. here’s what you need to know to successfully market your e-book via a one-page website:

1. An identifiable target market. E-books work best as a product for a very specific niche market, like an e-book on how to teach your dog tricks, how to effectively meditate to relieve stress, or how to find a green career. You need to be able to identify and describe your target market, from determining what the target market needs and what they’ll pay for (as well as how much they will pay) to what publications they read, what groups/associations do they belong to, and where they hang out both on- and offline. Make sure you understand what your target market needs and how to reach them before proceeding to the next step.

2. A domain name. The domain name for your e-book site should mirror or closely resemble your product name or a prominent feature of your product.

3. A give-away. You have two goals for your e-book site: get the contact info from your visitors and convert them into paying customers. Because not everyone will buy your primary product (thus providing you with their contact information), you need another strategy to collect your prospect’s information.

4. A merchant account. In order to collect payments, you need to be able to take credit card payments online and provide electronic product delivery. Your merchant account company needs to offer a “virtual terminal”, which lets you enter and process transactions online and interfaces with your shopping cart program. You can also go to www.pdf-stampers.com The most commonly used virtual terminal is that provided by Authorize.net. If you don’t want to invest in a merchant account, you can begin by using third-party processors like PayPal or Click Bank, but they offer less flexibility than a full merchant service.

6. Shopping cart software. Ultimately, your shopping cart software will be a workhorse for you and enable you to automate many functions of your online business.

7. Sales letter page. This is the primary sales page of your e-book website, containing a long sales letter with benefits of your product and testimonials of others who’ve used the product.

E-books are one of the quickest and inexpensive ways to help you establish your expertise and create another source of income for your business. Follow this simple e-book marketing plan and begin selling your information today!

How you can write and Marketing Your E-book

E-books have become a very common commodity on the Internet. E-books are electronic books that you can open, read, and print by using your computer. Writing an e-Book is among the best ways to brand your own business. Writing an e-Book is like any other form of writing be it a letter, a user guide, a report, etc. You must know who your target audience is and write to them. Writing an e-Book is actually easier than you might think and is a feasible way to make some extra money online.

Steps in Writing an E-book
your e-Book must provide answers to questions that a hungry audience within your niche is asking. There is so much junk information floating around providing answers and solutions which people could care less about. Even though your e-Book needs to be about a niche in which you have some degree of knowledge, you can easily find what marketers are hungry for in practically any niche by simply looking at what people are talking about in forums. You’ll often read common questions from people who are willing to pay a pretty to someone who can provide answers.

Decide on a catchy, yet meaningful title for your e-Book. Be careful that your title doesn’t misrepresent your e-Book’s content. The last thing you want is to tarnish your reputation as an author by exaggerating the claims of your e-Book with your title or in your marketing pitches. It’s always better to under-promote and over-deliver.

Decide on how many pages you want your e-Book to have. The nice thing about e-Books is that they don’t have to be very long. 25 – 40 pages are quite common for e-Books. After you finish writing your e-Book, be sure to have a couple different individuals proof it for errors. Typographical errors are so common nowadays, but that doesn’t make them right or acceptable. Numerous typos in books or e-Books always leave a poor reflection on the author. Once you have written your e-Book and have it laid out in an easy-to-read manner, you will need to convert it into a .PDF or an .exe format.

Once you’ve finished producing and pricing your e-Book, you need to develop a marketing strategy. Or go to www.create-own-ebook.com there are literally hundreds of ways to market your e-Book, so implement a variety of methods. I would also suggest recruiting affiliates to promote your e-Book. Provide your affiliates with tools such as banners, articles, and even a list of keywords. Affiliate participation and success will depend on the quality of your e-Book and the promotional tools which you as the creator provide them.

Conclusion

many marketers are making a small fortune selling e-Books online. Writing an e-Book is like building a house, you have to start with a solid foundation and a specific plan. Writing an e-Book is probably easier than you think. The hardest part is actually sitting down and begins writing.

To make money on web, you'll need to have some rules in mind if you want to maximize your potential income.

First of all, when a person wants to make money on web, they must have a good idea of what they are good at. Most of the time, when a person makes money on the web, they are doing something that they are very good at, and that no one else can do for them. Therefore fore, if you want to make money on web, you first need to figure out what you are going to be really good at, and go from there.

The second thing to think about when you want to make money on web is what your hobbies are. If you can find something to do online that not only is something that you are good at, but also something that correlates with one of your hobbies, you'll be able to be much more successful. After you have thought about what you are good at, you should think about your hobbies, and see if you can work the two together in any way.

Monetizing your passion, your desires, is where the skill comes in. Carve a niche out for yourself, and establish yourself as an expert within that niche. Not all niches are created equal, but with nearly one billion people on the planet able to get internet access, it doesn't take a large percentage to build up a readership.

Having figured out what your niche is, it's time to get going with your make money on web project. You're going to have to make a website for your idea first of all. Having a website is a must to make money on web. You're also going to need a product to sell or a service to offer, and have a website so people can find out about and purchase it.

I see too many websites out there that say you can just set it and forget it and it's not going to work out like this. The only reason I started to make money on the Internet was basically because I started to learn more, grow more and apply the skills and knowledge that I learned. You must apply what you learn because if you do not apply it holds no substance or purpose.

On a brighter side a lot of people are making tons of money because they simply made the commitment to go full out with their business and not let anyone stop them.

How to Make Money With Your Business Right From the Start

Starting a business usually poses a set of challenges that range from the start-up capital you need, going through the heavy expenses of running it and the long wait before you start seeing profits. However, you can actually skip those challenges and focus your efforts on an alternative that will spare you from all that. How? By doing business and making money online.

The difficult part of making money online is not the size of your initial investment as much as it is the learning curve you have to beat.

Indeed, starting a business usually involves investing a considerable sum of money and there is always the risk that things will not turn out as we thought, so if we put a large amount of money as start-up capital we are always at risk of losing a lot of it.

However, the approach with an online business is completely different, because of course you will have to invest some money to start -as you would in any other business venture- but the really strong component of an online business is know-how.

Within the traditional business model this factor also plays an important role, but the balance between capital and know-how in this case is I would say 60% / 40%, whereas in an online business this balance is about 5% / 95%.

What does this means from a practical standpoint?

It means that when you are starting an online business the main obstacle between you and success is not the lack of money, but the lack of know-how.

The good news is that getting the know-how you need will only demand from you some time and effort to learn and get your business up and running.

So as you can see, within this business model you will not be risking money, you will be risking only some of your time and dedication, and while you wait for your business to take off, you will not be stressed out by the heavy expenses that usually come with the traditional approach.

Therefore, provided that you have a good source of results-driven online business education you will beat the learning curve fast and you will quickly have in your hands the only asset you really need to make money online steadily from the start: know-how.

Make Money Using Affiliate Niche Marketing Programs

Without a doubt, the best home based business anywhere in the world is affiliate marketing.

If you have heard that the market is over saturated, don't believe that mess! The only people who would say such a thing are those who failed in affiliate niche marketing programs. It isn't the programs; it is the marketers who fail to succeed. If you could telephone a top dog marketer and ask them which affiliate programs are the worst, do you know what they would tell you?

"There are no bad affiliate programs, but there are a lot of bad affiliate marketers."

You are probably really curious about what makes an affiliate marketer successful.

For one thing, they understand the importance of planning and research. You see, no matter what kind of business you decide to get into you have to have a plan if you want to achieve your goal. That's another thing many new startup business fail to do; give themselves a goal. If you don't know where you want to go, how could you possibly figure out how to get there? Before you even start looking for a good affiliate niche marketing program, you need to set a goal.

Even if your goal looks absolutely insane on paper, that is good.

The higher you aim, the farther you will climb. The next thing you need to do is research what you want to promote. Start with one affiliate niche marketing program and put all your effort and energy into creating a really bullet proof campaign. There will be plenty of time for branching off after you have one launch that is converting.

Be sure to choose the right keywords because you don't want to hidden in competitors.

You won't make much money if you are hard for your target market to find. You need to figure out how you will come up in the top search listing results for your market. Don't make this your last move, everything you do from day one in creating your campaign hinges on the keywords. They are the bricks and mortar of your profit from any affiliate niche marketing program.

You need to learn how to do good copywriting.

Either that or you need to hire a top quality writer to get this done for you. Bad copy will loose you more conversions that having a confusing page. That's the other thing, to make money with any affiliate niche marketing program; you need to focus on one promotion per page. You can't have 70 outgoing links to a bunch of different stuff. There should never be more than one way to leave your page and that should only lead to the conversion.

Make Money With an Online Business

The opportunity to make money online is as good as it ever was. As the economic climate gets worse more and more people turn to the internet looking for ways to make money.

Although there are millions of websites online the internet will never get saturated as it is global and every day new people are coming online looking to start a business just like you.

Before you can attract people to join your business it stands to reason that you yourself must first get started and find an opportunity to join. There are hundreds of different types of business opportunities to choose from as you will find when you surf the web.

First of all beware of those programs that promise you will make thousands of dollars in your first month or two, it is more than likely they are scams. Also those programs that promise to make you a millionaire are not worth looking at. There may be a few millionaires on the internet but they probably got in early when the internet was born. It is very unlikely that anyone can honestly say they have become millionaires in the last year or two.

Unless you can come up with a unique idea of your own you will have to settle for searching the web for your business. Depending on the business you choose your ideal start is to build your own website, this will make other people aware of your business which is imperative to its success.

Never expect instant success, it takes time and patience to build a business for it to bring in your expected income, this means that if you are already in a full or part time job do not give it up until the online earnings can compete.

Apart from working with your business you should spend as much time as possible promoting your website. Your website can bring you in a second income once it starts attracting traffic.

Your business choices are vast, just decide what really interests you and what ever you choose you will find an affiliate program that will suit you. Of course there many more choices which you will find as you surf the web. If you are keen on taking risks then look at money market trading it is very popular at the moment, you can make big money but you can also lose big money so a lot of learning is required.

Do not get despondent if in the first few months your earnings seem low, they will improve if you continue to work at it, stay motivated and believe in yourself, you can do it.

How to Make Money Online - Copy Someone Who is Successful Already

If you want to learn how to make money online, one of the best ways is to follow someone who already has had success, and copy them...do exactly what they do. Actually, this is true of any business. Why try to re-invent the wheel when you can follow a clear path to success that you know has been followed before?

When you first start out, you are in what I call "information gathering mode"...you want to make sure that you are getting the right start, in the right niche, with the right products and the right teacher. This is OK, you really DO need to do it...but at some point you need to move out of the info gathering phase and begin to focus on implementation.

All of the information in the world is not going to help you if you never get to the implementation phase...meaning, put what you have learned into action. This may seem like the next logical step, and when you think about it, seems like it would be pretty easy to do. The thing that I see people struggle with is this very step...and because I see it so often I have a recommendation that I believe will help you.

Rather than assume that you can smoothly and easily move into implementation, assume that you will run into some bumps in the road and be prepared to handle them. The best way that I have found to do this is by working with a coach or a mentor. This can make a huge difference in your progress...not only how much progress you make...but how fast you make it!

A coach can see you heading for a cliff before you can. They have been down the path before you and they know what potholes and bumps lie ahead so they can guide you around them. This is crucial if you want to learn how to make money online quickly. Why struggle when you can make it easy on yourself?

Here's the deal, you want to get your business profitable as soon as you can. You have realized that having a coach or mentor will get you there more quickly. Now all you have to do is pick the right coach. Obviously, I would like you to see that the best coach for you would be me...but really it's more important that you pick someone that you connect with and that you KNOW has had the success that you want to achieve.

Now, get to work. They will give you the steps and your job is to follow them...pretty easy. Probably the hardest part will be to stick with it and do all of the steps without allowing yourself to become distracted. There will be lots of people and programs telling you that they have an easier, faster way but if you start jumping from coach to coach, and program to program you are going to slow yourself down. Just focus and you will have results. Pretty soon YOU will be able to show others how to make money online.

Make Money Through Internet Marketing

Marketing is something that a lot of people want to get in to. If you are also looking to find a job that you can do from home with complete flexibility, then you should look online. There are many different ways to have a marketing job online. You can make money through internet marketing via affiliate programs. These are programs that rely on marketing in order to make money for the merchant site and the affiliate business site.

What happens is that the affiliate site will advertise for another site and get paid for all of the traffic that is sent to that site. The affiliate site can also get paid a percentage of the purchases that the visitors make. This is called a two tier affiliate program and it makes more profit for everyone. This is because the business will get more sales and the affiliate site will get paid from those purchases. If you become an affiliate you can quickly make money through internet marketing. The great thing about this is the simplicity of these programs. In addition, you will have ultimate flexibility in your hours and you can work when it is convenient for you.

You just need to remember that effort is very important. When you are in marketing, it is important to be aggressive in order to attract people to your product. This means a lot of planning. Also, as an affiliate, you need to advertise to customers that will actually want to visit the site and buy some products. This is why you should choose to become involved with sites that are either similar or that you can w rite about on your site to promote them.

If you want to make money through internet marketing then you know a little something about that type of business. You know that it is illogical to think that you can sell any type of product. You need to get involved with products that you know will sell because that will then make you more money. This is especially true if you are part of an affiliate program that is labeled as a two tier. In this type of situation, when you are responsible for the sales of more products, you will get more money. If you really are serious about making some money, it is important to be confident that you can advertise for a product that is really going to sell.
